well known in this city as Miss Kate
Elkins, has been spending some days
with her father, here Mr.. E. S. Elkins,
now in feeble health. Mrs. Kate Elkins
is remembered here by old acquaint-
ances thirty years ago. on account Of
interesting incidents, one of which will
be mentioned. When only ten years of
age, she read composition in the High
School room, entitled, "My Fathers

position attracted much attention, and
it was frequently talked about for year
or more after.
Cocaine, Iodoform or Mercurials in
any form in the treatment of catarrh or
hay fever should be avoided, as they
are both injurious and dangerous. Iodo-
form is easily detected by its offensive
Odor The only reliable catarrh remedy
on the market to-day is Ely's Cream
Balm, being free from all poisonous
drugs. 1t has cured thousands of acute
and chronic cases, where all other RENE
dies have failed. A particle is applied
into each nostril no pain agreeable
to use. Price so cents.
Mr.. and Mr. Shubal Swift and their
widowed granddaughter, Mrs. Julia
Lord, were murderously assaulted in
their residence at Waukegan, about 5
o'clock on Thursday morning of last
week, by a negro named Jos. Smith
The iiend struck his victims several
severe blows on the head, knocking
them unconscious, and only desisted
when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
He made his escape, but was found
hiding in a gully and captured as he at
tempted to get away. Mr.. Swift is 95
years of age and his wife over 80. Smith
served four-months' term in Jail for
sheep-stealing, and gives as his motive
that some time ago the Swifts and others
in the neighborhood where he resided
signed a petition asking that the Smith
| family be driven from the town, and
that the deed was done in revenge, and
that he had it in for others. When ar
rested he had a loaded revolver and a
razor in his possession The injured
parties are considered out Of danger.

Knowing how liable we are to put off,
till more convenient season, matters
that are not absolutely urgent or neces-
sary, I desire to especially call the atten-
ton of my friends and customers, and
indeed all the citizens Of Kenosha, to
the fact that mir. Ewing, theartist, is at
present occupying the studio in my
| gallery, and is executing class of por-
traits that testimonials from many
prominent people of the larger cities
and higher art circles will substantiate
me i'll pronouncing as not to be excelled,
| if, indeed, equaled in this Or any other
country. Mr.. Ewing has made life
study of portraiture, and has been
signally blest with success in this art.
I hope that those of our citizens who
wish to make a good investment will
, call and be convinced that they can
have portrait that will be rich in merit
"a thing of beauty and a joy forever"
Mr.. E. will only remain few weeks,
and will have to secure at once what
commissions he will execute IN that
time. Prices viii be reasonable, and
you can now get first-class portraits fol
little more than ordinary and often
very inferior paintings are sold. Cal
, and learn prices, see the work and leave
, orders. Satisfaction guaranteed in every
/ case. q. La MARSH.
